Exploring Ramadan Through the Lens of Humour and Online Community Spirit

14 Mar 2025

Ramadan, a sacred month of fasting, prayer, and reflection, holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims around the world. However, beyond the religious observances, this period offers an insightful and unique window into the everyday experiences of Muslims, especially in today’s digital age.

 

From showcasing routines and resets to the vibrant online conversations that blend humour, lifestyle, and food culture, social media has become a platform for both reflection and connection.


Zaineb Al-Sadiq, a member of our Content Curation team, delves into some lighthearted and insightful moments emerging from online conversations among Muslims observing Ramadan. As the month unfolds, Muslim content creators are sharing their experiences through dedicated vlogs and social media posts, offering a glimpse into their daily routines, food preparation, and moments of spiritual growth. Much like the popular "Vlogmas" during Christmas, Ramadan vlogs or "diaries" capture the essence of this month, all while providing a platform for humour and personal expression.


Whether it's the relatable "Ramadan brain" moments, the vibrant Iftar celebrations, or the Muslim humour that has found its way into memes and viral videos, Ramadan on social media is as much about connection and community as it is about tradition. In this cultural reflection Zaineb explores how Muslims are navigating the month of fasting in a modern world, sharing moments of joy, reflection, and laughter with a global audience.
